If the name isn't enticing enough, watch Laura's tutorial video which gives you step-by-step instructions so you know what yours should look like. You know how I named the Chocolate Chip Cookie Oreo & Brownies as my favourite brownie recipe? Here's it's biggest competition. So rich and decadent, these brownies take indulgence to a whole other level.

3/4 cup of All Purpose Flour¾ cup of Cocoa Powder½ cup of Unsalted Butter, at room temperature1 cup of Granulated Sugar3 Eggs¼ tsp of Salt2 tsp of Vanilla Extract1 cup of Chopped Walnuts I used 1/3 of a cup as that's all I had1 cup of White Chocolate Chips1 cup of Semisweet Chocolate Chips 2/3 cup of Caramel Sauce I used tinned caramel, melted slightly½ tsp of Instant Espresso Powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, grease a 8 inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, set aside.In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, salt and instant espresso powder, set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar, add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add in the dry ingredients and mix just enough to incorporate the dry ingredients in well.Reserve 1 cup of the batter and set aside. Spread the remaining batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the walnuts and white chocolate chips evenly over the batter, drizzle the caramel sauce on top of that. Add the semisweet chocolate chips to the remaining 1 cup of batter, then spread this mixture all over the top of the caramel. Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes. Let them cool completely then serve! To Laura Vitale I am eternally grateful.
